章節 23: Chapter 21 - Solving ones problems with your own hands
"At the time when we meet again you would naturally know" she said with a smile
"You also released a powerful shockwave that spanned through the whole continent and many people are working to find the source of it. so you should be more careful next time " she continued speaking
"Good bye nigo" she said and suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Nigo looked at the spot where she was sitting and began to ponder
"Am I seeing things?" he said as he looked around, at the kids who were seated in the train, they were all calm and behaved like they didn't see anything
"Maybe the trauma of Ejiro's death got me real good" he said as he smiled self depreciating
" Young master Nigo, long time no see"
Nigo turned to look at the person with the familiar voice who had just spoken to him from behind. A genuine smile appeared on his face the moment he saw the young man.
The young man wore a golden robe with white pants, he had long black hair which he packed behind him.
"Greetings station master Zhuo" Nigo said in respect.
Zhuo was one of the few people who never looked down on him. Back then when he first started the school, nigo always took the train home before he met zara and Ejiro.
He had met Zhuo in the station many times because he was in charge of maintaining order in the subway. Under his watch, no one ever dared to bully nigo even though he was a cripple and he didn't do it because of nigo's status, he did so because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Zhuo originally had a handsome and energetic face but now his face was gloomy and his eyes had gone dark.
"Greetings to you also" Zhuo responded with a slight smile on his face
"I heard what happened, sorry for your loss" he said to nigo
"It's alright I'm fine now but you don't look good your self, what happened?" Nigo asked, he really wanted to know what would take away the light in Zhuo's eyes
"It's nothing, just stress" Zhuo said trying to avoid the topic
"There's no need to be like that, who knows I may have a solution to your problem" Nigo said
"Sigh... okay" Zhuo said as he sat beside nigo
"I have this problem that has been troubling me, it is something I must do for that person no matter what. But I don't know what to do anymore" Zhuo said
"And what is this thing?" nigo asked
"Sigh.. since I've made up my mind to tell you I might as well go, all out" Zhuo said with a pained expression
"My sister was murdered but I do not know the person responsible for it, she was my only family left in this world and she was taken away from me" his eyes grew misty but he tried his hardest to fight back his tears
"She died six years ago and ever since the people in charge of the investigation have not found anything, anytime I go there to ask for information, all I get are the same words "we are working on it" and six years have past since then, I'm just confused" Zhuo said in pain
"I see.... how was she murdered?" Nigo asked, he wanted information so he could ask granny chi and his father to find the perpetrators
"She...." Zhuo hesitated, he gritted his teeth and said "She was raped and murdered!"
"!!!"
Nigo felt a strange anger enveloping him, he looked at Zhuo his gaze calm
"Such a crime should not be left at the hands of anyone but yourself to give out judgement" Nigo said in a calm tone
"!!??" Zhuo looked at him
"How old was she?" Nigo asked
"She was twelve when it happened"
Boom!!
Explosions echoed in nigo's head
"What!!"
He shouted making people look at the two of them. The kids would instantly turn away the moment nigo's gaze met with theirs.
Why would such an animal be allowed to leave yet his friend died? He felt his blood boil, twelve just twelve, what in the world is wrong with some people. And yet the agency in charge of investigating the case claimed not to have found the culprit.
No one knew how many girls might have fallen victim to such a calamity at the hands of the culprit and even at that he is still roaming free for six whole damn years
"You have to take everything into your hands to find the culprit" Nigo said
"What do you mean" Zhuo asked
"If you truly desire justice then the best way to accomplish it is by yourself, avenging her death should be all that matters to you right now, right?" Nigo asked
"Yes!" Zhuo nodded his head
"Then my advice is that you solve your problem by yourself, you would be the one to give out judgement that you deem befitting on those animals who took your sister away from you"
"Make them experience pain worse than death, make them wish they could die. Avenge her by your own hands" Nigo said with a very serious look on his face
Zhuo furrowed his brows and pondered over what nigo had said.
Choo!
The train stopped and nigo picked up his bag and got to his feet, he began to walk to the door, he turned to looked at Zhuo
"I will try to find out more information but you on the other hand should do your best with the resources you have"He turned and walked out of the train
Zhuo finally opened his mouth to speak "Thank you nigo" he said. His face going from gloomy to sinister as a smile appeared on his face.
Nigo walked to his house and entered the compound, anyone he walked by would turn to look at him. It was because he was a known cripple in the area. But now he had the aura of a User in the S- tier of the beginner domain
"Is he still the same person?" Someone said as they watched nigo move out of sight
Nigo entered the compound but granny chi wasn't around to welcome him
"Maybe she's out to get groceries" he said as he walked into the house
He went straight to his room, locked the door behind him, put his bag away and sat on his bed.
He calmed his energy down and removed every thought from his mind and focused on his liaison core,
"!!"
What he saw shocked him, because his liaison network was very large and more complex than the diagrams he had seen, also his liaison core wasn't the usual colour of any of the cores that had been described.
It was colourless but it had five spaces around it which radiated different colours which were red, purple, blue, green and yellow
He stood up and raised his hand circulated Utility energy and
Crack!
Lightening emerged from his hand, he looked at his liaison network and he could see purple utility energy flowing through it from the liaison core and it had turned purple as well.
He put away the lightening and circulated his utility energy
Boom!
A soft sound exploded and flames ignited on his hand
They were not the scarlet flames the other fire users manifested but they were yellow with crimson tips.
The Flame was hot and the temperature in the room rose but nigo couldn't feel the heat.
Despite what was happening before his eyes, nigo wasn't happy one bit.
He looked at his Utility network to see a red energy flowing through it, with his liaison core glowing with a red light this time around.
He put away the flames, he tried to use wind and
Whoosh
A wind began to rotate on his palms but he couldn't control it with ease like he did with fire and lightening
He put it away and tried to control the water in his bathroom
The water rose to a certain length but it was incredibly hard and slow to use.
He stopped trying the elements because according to what was known humans had their Affinity in different elements but they could still use other elements as well, the only difference would be that it was easier to control ones Affinity than to use the others, hence why many people tend to spend all their time on their Affinity than other elements.
From what nigo had seen he could control lightening and fire with ease and wind with lesser ease but water was incredibly tough
He went back to the bed to further study his Liaison core and those spaces that were around it but he couldn't figure anything out.
Nigo felt the aura radiating from those spaces and discovered that the energy of the purple and red space was similar to what he felt when he was in the forest but he couldn't sense life coming from them like he did earlier. But, he could feel something within his core calling out to him
Knock!
Granny chi was knocking on the door which made nigo halt his probing
He stood up, and opened the door
"my boy is back" granny chi said with a smile as she hugged nigo
"I didn't want to use it but...." Nigo suddenly stopped he just remembered that he wasn't in full control of his body when he forcefully fused with the star meteorite flame
"Don't worry about it, although I could sense your energy when you awakened your core, I was still surprise by your sudden increase in User strength" granny chi said with a smile on her face
"Where are you coming from?" Nigo asked changing the topic
Granny chi noticing it went with it as well "There was a strange wave of utility energy that spanned through out the whole continent this afternoon so I had to help the experts of the continent investigate it" granny chi said
"I also went to get the groceries after I was done helping them"
"Okay that's nice, so did you find the source of the energy?" Nigo asked he knew the cause of it all and if they were able find anything out he won't be able to live a peaceful life anymore.
"No we didn't, the energy disappeared just as it appeared so no matter how hard we searched we couldn't find it" granny chi said while examining nigo
"Alright.... let's cook I'm hungry" Nigo said as he made his way out the room
"Come back here and take your bath first!" granny chi thundered as she grabbed nigo
Nigo released utility energy to stop her from grabbing him but her grip was still firm
"You may have awakened your core but you are still at the bottom of the barrel" she said and pushed him into the room with utility energy
"Ahhh" he shouted as she tossed him inside the bathroom after forcefullyremoving his clothes (she's an elderly woman and he's a child, so wipe those thoughts out of your mind dirty minded people!)
........................................................................
In the middle of the Flame Domain the capital of the Flame Empire.
Flame Imperial palace
The Flame emperor was seated in his administrative chamber with a phone on his ear,he was clad in a red royal robe that had a large golden symbol of fire behind it, he was facing the windows so one couldn't see his face
But if anyone were to look at him they would feel their soul burn. The chamber was seven hundred kilometres wide. It has a gold table with dragon inscriptions around it and a chair in the middle of the chamber. There were guards outside the chamber but they were not guarding the Flame emperor rather, they were to stop those unnecessary disturbance from disturbing the emperor.
There were shelves around the chamber as it was incredibly large.
A figure could be seen walking towards the chamber with haste, the figure was covered in black cloak that covered it's face.
The moment the guards saw him they gave way and let him pass without obstruction.
The figure entered the chamber to meet the emperor facing the windows, they figure bowed on it's knees.
"Has it happened" the voice of the emperor resounded in the chamber
The figure didn't speak but one could see utility energy flashing across it's body, signifying the communication taking place in it's mind.
"What element?" The emperor asked in a majestic tone that had an authoritative bearing to it
"Is that so? ...lightening and fire eh"
The Flame emperor didn't turn but one could see a smile from the side of his face.
